“It is rare to find something that combines this level of solitude and development potential in such a beautiful and historic location.” She said the river banks and surroundings were designated a site of special scientific interest.

“There is a wonderful rare sandbank, home to 70 pairs of sand martins, and the ancient woodland has roe deer, great spotted woodpecker, blackcaps and willow warblers and other rare flora and fauna.

“It is has the potential to create a special home, rural business or unique retreat. We are giving people time to visit it and explore its potential before auction in the spring.”

Appointment-only open days are being organised by Carter Jonas for anyone interested in viewing the estate. The first is on Friday and the next is January 31.
